# New Feed Item

### Overview

The **New Feed Item Component** triggers whenever a new RSS feed item is detected from a given URL, allowing real-time updates and content automation.

### Usage

This component monitors an RSS feed and emits new items as they appear, making it ideal for content tracking and automated notifications.

#### Properties

#### Processing Logic

1. **Monitors Feed URL**: Periodically checks the RSS feed for new items.

4. **Emits New Data**:
   * If new items are found, they are sent through the `out` port.
   * The component updates its stored history of seen items.
